A New Game! 

What is Foederatus?

We're very pleased here at Aeon & Star to announce our new game. Feoderatus is a Kingdom Management RPG in Late Antiquity with retro pixel art and an old school sensibility. 

Our biggest influence is definitively King of Dragon Pass. We wanted to make a modern, simpler and roman KODP. 

Foederatus is a PC game, not an NES game like our previous title Steel Legion. However, it retains the same kind of pixel art (and the same pixel artist!). Spoiler no spoiler but our next NES game will also have a Roman flavour, so it's all tied up! 

Our Vision

Our vision for the game can be glimpsed from the Itch or Steam page, but here are some highlights:

• Retro pixel art with an old school strategy/management feel in the UI/UX
• Kingdom management, but different. Most kingdom management games are very micro (lots of tiny resources to track) or very macro (very few resources, generally it's about attrition): in our case we aim at a middle ground with a new system that favours decision making on a strategic level but with input at every turn. 
• RPG, but different. Our RPG system will be interlinked with the kingdom management aspect. In other words, we aim to focus the skills, stats, choices, etc. on the management. You aren't a fantasy king fighting dragons, you are a leader dealing with politics and strategy. 
• Choice & consequences. This is our big focus. Every choice has consequences, be it management, RPG, dialogues, factions, etc. 

All of this will be detailed through devlogs as we move forward. 

What's Next

In the next weeks, we'll do a proper "devlog" of what's happening, how things work, what to look forward, etc. Our current goal is creating a pre-alpha demo that we can share privately with interested people (that includes you the reader!). To know more, follow us here, on Steam, our newsletter or jump on our Discord. We'll give free keys for that to anyone who's interested.
